Instructions:

- Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

- Add the chopped broccolini to the pot with the potatoes during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, just until tender but still vibrant green.
- Drain the potatoes and broccolini well, then return them to the pot.

- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.

Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
- Steam the broccoli instead of boiling it to retain its nutrients and bright green color.
- Feel free to use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Gouda, to suit your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a richer mash, you can use whole milk or even add a bit of butter.
- Season the mash with additional spices like garlic powder or black pepper to enhance the flavor.
